Brownber House
A picture-perfect countryside retreat, this barn-style home is surrounded by sheep-dotted hills and offers exquisite rural views in every direction. Homely, inviting and rustic, this place oozes comfortable luxury. It's an excellent option for families looking to escape the hustle and bustle. There's a lot to shout about here – we loved the amount of natural light streaming through the lancet windows and skylights, as well as the beamed ceilings, wood-burning stove and quirky antler chandelier in the living area. We also appreciated the thoughtful welcome gift, which has all sorts of treats and a good bottle of wine to wash them all down with after a long day travelling to this remote spot.

Set on a riverside estate that was once owned by William Wordsworth’s son, this eco cottage makes for an idyllic break in the Lake District. It’s all about lacing up those hiking boots here with country paths over hills and fells and a riverside walk taking you into Ambleside in twenty minutes. Just beyond the garden, a set of stepping stones take you across the River Rothay and into the land that’s inspired poets for centuries. The cottage itself has some cool eco-credentials – walls crafted from local slate and stone, a water supply fed by borehole and underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove providing the warmth. The curved facade has been designed to blend into the surrounding fells. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the open-plan living area and bedrooms invite the trees and fields inside and at the end of the day, an egg-shaped soaking tub is ready to soothe tired muscles in the master ensuite. The real bonus here is the patio, surro...
